Hong Kong, January 2021 – One of the most anticipated awards show of the year, TVB Awards Presentation 2020《万千星辉颁奖典礼2020》has taken place on 10^th January 2021.

Without a doubt, the biggest winner of the night was Al Cappuccino《反黑路人甲》which has grabbed away 5 awards including Most Popular Male TV Character won by 张振朗Owen Cheung, Best Actress in a Supporting Role won by 赖慰玲Winki Lai Wai Ling, Most Popular On-Screen Partners won by the chemistry between Vincent Wong王浩信、Owen Cheung张振朗、Brian Chu朱敏瀚, My (Malaysian) Favourite TVB Drama Series and most importantly Best Drama Series! To be honest, it is not surprising for the drama to win big for the night, it was indeed a very memorable comedy-drama from TVB! Let’s hope that there will be more dramas of a similar genre to be produced by TVB again!

On the other hand, other big winners are nominees from the drama Legal Mavericks 2020《踩过界2》! Both the main actor and actress for the drama Vincent Wong 王浩信and Sisley Choi蔡思贝have won Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Leading Role respectively! 

No one can deny Vincent's acting skill anymore if you revisited both of the dramas which he has led on 2020 (Legal Mavericks 2020 and Al Cappuccino). We can see that he has nailed it for both of his roles amazingly. Most importantly, we can definitely appreciate his passion for acting! Well done!

Sisley Choi蔡思贝 has definitely shown us a big improvement in her acting performance. In fact, I think her portrayal of Deanie Chiu Cheng Mui in Legal Maverick 2020 is really quite good! 

In addition to that, Katy Kung 龚嘉欣also won big by winning Most Popular Female TV Character and My (Malaysia) Favourite TVB Actress in a Leading Role! 2020 has allowed the TVB fans to witness her versatility in delivering her roles with extremely different personalities including the soft-spoken one, the villainous one as well as the action-packed one in "Death By Zero"! Definitely very well deserved! 

Other winners of the night are as followed!

 [Press Conference] The King Of Fruits Returns With The Road To Malaysia’s International Durian & Cultural Fest 2022

Petaling Jaya, July 2022 - Senior Deputy Director of Tourism Malaysia, YBrs. Puan Rosnah Mustafah, presided over the announcementof The Road to Malaysia's International Durian & Culture Fest 2022 (MIDCF), a buffet-style event featuring durians and tropical fruits to give visitors a sense of the country's culture and what our culture in Malaysia is all about.

The festival is put on by Dking, one of the greatest names in the durian industry, with the assistance of the Malaysian Inbound Chinese Association (MICA) and Tourism Malaysia. This event marks the effort and contributions of Dking to advance Malaysian culture and tourism both domestically and abroad. With the increase in demand for durians over the past ten years, the festival will further boost the awareness around the world regarding the many varieties of delicious durians that are actually available in Malaysia.

Senior Deputy Director of Tourism Malaysia, YBrs. Puan Rosnah Mustafah, stated,“Our food has always been among the top expenditure components for both domestic and international tourists in Malaysia. Over the years of our country offering its food diversity, Durians, has made its way to the top of the list of what Malaysia is known for; with over 200 varieties that our humble country has to offer. At Tourism Malaysia, it is in our best interest to do all we can to boost and proudly showcase our best to the world and Dking has been doing exceptionally well at ticking all the boxes.”

The event is a stepping stone in the "Malaysia Truly Asia" campaign, which will capture and define the spirit of the nation's distinctive diversity and turn Malaysia into a world-class travel destination. Dking had to put a stop to their extravagant events when the COVID-19 outbreak started due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases and border restrictions. Dking is thus back to symbolise one of Malaysia's most well-known products now that most borders have been reopened, helping to make Malaysian food one of the top expenditure items for both domestic and foreign tourists in Malaysia.

“Through the selections of durians and cultural food that we have available at the festival, it will allow for people to experience the diversity and culture that Malaysia has and we hope to play a vital part in promoting Malaysia as an ideal destination to experience unique food, culture and tourist attractions.” commented Leron Yee, the founder of Dking.

Malaysia International Durian & Cultural Fest 2022

Date: 16 - 17 Jul 2022

Venue: Pavilion Bukit Jalil 

Visitors from all walks of life can expect to experience Malaysian culture via food, and Dking and Tourism Malaysia are excited to share Malaysia's best offerings with the world.

[Press Conference] KA$HPLUS Product Launch And Partnership Signing Ceremony! Introduces Co-Branded Prepaid card with IOUPAY !

Kuala Lumpur, July 2022 - In an effort to modernise payment methods in Malaysia and lower the danger of coming into contact with possible scammers, Virtualflex Sdn Bhd ("Virtualflex") has released its e-wallet platform and prepaid card, KA$Hplus. In conjunction with their introduction, Virtualflex also disclosed a strategic alliance with the fintech firm IOU Pay (Asia) Sdn Bhd ("IOUpay") to create a co-branded prepaid card called the myIOU KA$Hplus Card for myIOU users in Malaysia.

Consumers have grown accustomed to utilising their mobile devices for online transactions, purchases, and banking during the previous ten years. To stop the spread of the coronavirus, the Covid-19 pandemic has, nevertheless, greatly increased interest in cashless and contactless payment methods during the past two years. It is inevitable that e-wallet systems will be widely used, and in many respects, this protects users from scammers.

A growing number of banking-related scam cases have been reported in Malaysia, wiping out savings from multiple accounts. With their prepaid card solution, KA$Hplus helps combat these problems by removing the possibility that a customer's banking account information will be revealed when making purchases.

Credit and debit card details are likewise protected by KA$Hplus since they are never fully displayed within the e-wallet application. Additionally, the prepaid cards provided by the KA$Hplus e-wallet service don't display any card numbers or Card Verification Values (CVV), significantly lowering the risks assumed by users of their platform. With the introduction of KA$Hplus in Malaysia, the company wants to inform customers on how to protect themselves against e-wallet scams by holding awareness campaigns in the Klang Valley in the upcoming months.

A three-year exclusive contract between Virtualflex and IOUpay for the two-stage launch of the myIOU KA$Hplus Card was made public during the press conference. MyIOU's existing Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) customers will receive KA$Hplus cards in the first stage, and the BNPL service will be integrated into the app in the second. Through the integration of BNPL capabilities with the myIOU KA$Hplus prepaid card, this cooperation aims to give users greater freedom when it comes to payment methods.

Every KA$Hplus card, including the myIOU KA$Hplus Card, is a reloadable prepaid debit card that supports Visa payment features, enabling users to make purchases anywhere that accepts Visa cards. “The collaboration with Virtualflex to launch the myIOU KA$Hplus Card provides the market with an innovative fintech product and reinforces both companies’ goals in digital payment solutions.” said Ms. Gwen Khor, Head of Marketing at IOUpay.

The Perbadanan Perwira Harta Malaysia (PPHM) and KA$Hplus have also teamed up to encourage businesses to use cashless payments as their primary method for daily transactions in an effort to make Malaysia a tech-forward country.

The "Ka$Hplus Cashless Campus Program 2022" gives a total of 100 institutions access to free Visa prepaid cards and a portal to manage their accounts in a micro application within the KA$Hplus app itself, at a reasonable price. In addition, the company has made efforts to integrate fully cashless environments within our community, starting with schools, colleges, and universities. By doing this, KA$Hplus hopes to make cashless transactions a part of everyday life and equip Malaysia's next generation to cope with impending technology breakthroughs.

"We are committed to contributing and improving the wellbeing of communities with our fintech solutions that offer maximum security, transparency, convenience, and usability. Whether we like it or not, the world is moving toward digital and cashless payments; by launching KA$Hplus and myIOU KA$Hplus Card, we hope to make a massive impact in Malaysia by protecting the consumers against fraudulent activities, at the same time, bringing our country forward as an exemplary nation for modernized fintech implementations.” said Mr. Heng Wa Seng, Chief Executive Officer of Virtualflex Sdn Bhd.

A number of VIPs were present to grace the event, these would include - YBhg Dato’ Sri Steven Eng, Advisor of Malaysia Digital Chamber of Commerce; YBhg Datuk Hj Mohd Kamal bin Shukor, Senior Manager of Perbadanan Perwira Harta Malaysia (PPHM); Mr. Ken Phua, Deputy President of Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA); Ms. Carol Fung, Senior Manager of Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC); Mr. Kenneth Kuan, Chief Financial Officer of IOUpay; Mr. Wayne Wong, Chief Credit Control Officer of IOUpay; Mr. Lau Teck Huat, Chief Technical Officer of IOUpay; Mr. Yeap Yong Wei, Regional Commercial Officer of IOUpay; along with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) – Beatrice Chong, Putera Ameer, and Chuojashni Subramaniam.

For the first 100 sign-ups each day from July 14 through July 16, 2022, KA$Hplus will give away RM30 in free credits as part of Virtualflex's participation in the Malaysia International Retail and Franchise Exhibition (MIRF) 2022. The KA$Hplus app is currently accessible through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. For more information, visit https://main.kashplus.my/.

 [Event Coverage] Malaysia’s International Durian & Cultural Fest 2022

Kuala Lumpur, July 2022 - The official opening of the Malaysian International Durian & Culture Fest 2022 (MIDCF) was officiated by YBrs. Encik Iskandar Mirza Mohd Yusof, Senior Director, Domestic & Event of Tourism Malaysia, as a way of supporting Dking as they achieve yet another milestone in advancing Malaysia's tourism.

Malaysia's International Durian & Cultural Fest 2022 (MIDCF) is a two-day cultural event that takes place between July 16 and July 17, 2022, at Pavilion Bukit Jalil. It honours Malaysia's wonders of culture, tourism, and one of its most significant factors of appeal — food.

Everyone's everyday life revolves around food, which is also deeply ingrained in Malaysian culture. Dking's goal has always been to "make everyone love durian," and with that passion and love, they have been on an ever-changing journey to highlight how important the king of fruits is in helping to make Malaysia one of the most popular travel destinations.

The introduction served as a significant first step in their intention to propose Durian Dayas an official day for durians in Malaysia, in addition to serving as a venue to promote durians. Due to the fact that other nations already have days set aside to honour their cuisine, Malaysia should also have a day set aside in the calendar for Malaysians to commemorate their national fruit, the durian.

The establishment of a Durian Day in Malaysia would contribute to the global promotion of durians. It would increase Malaysians' sense of patriotism, provide Malaysia the chance to be known and represented by the fruit around the world, and might even be added to the tourism calendar in the future.

According to YBrs. Encik Iskandar Mirza Mohd Yusof,"The Malaysia International Durian & Cultural Fest is a prime example of a great tourist attraction for locals and foreigners to visit Malaysia's capital and indulge in the various assortments of durians, tropical fruits, and local food that Malaysia has to offer."

Public attention was drawn to a great lineup of durians, including the XO and D24, which excited many in attendance. In addition, people might enjoy the diversity of tropical fruits that Malaysia has to offer.

Malaysia’s International Durian & Cultural Fest 2022 featured events that reflected Malaysia's expanding culture, such as a cultural fashion presentation by Miss Malaysia Kebaya, under the direction of Nicole Fe Lynne, and an electrifying violin performance by Jessica Loo.

With a large selection of delicious durians, tropical fruits from Nature Farm, and our beloved local and Nyonya kuih-muih offered by Aroma Nyonya, Dking was able to provide participants a picture of Malaysia's culture. In addition to the festival's flurry of activities, the event's location at Pavilion Bukit Jalil had a significant impact on the development of the mall as a tourist attraction. 低清 Dissy artistes were also spotted during the event!

"We believe this festival serves as a representation of Malaysia’s diversity that is united by our unique and delicious food, as we work towards contributing to make Malaysia Southeast Asia’s food paradise. Not only do we hope to play a vital role in preserving and displaying our culture and tourist attractions, but we also hope visitors will be encouraged to experience Malaysia when trying out our food.” remarked Dking's founder, Mr. Leron Yee.

Malaysia's International Durian & Cultural Fest 2022 was a homage by Dking to uplift the spirits of Malaysians and our country going forward, since Malaysia has through difficult times in the pandemic over the previous two years.

[Movie Review] Emergency Declaration (2022) (Korean Film)

"Emergency Declaration" is a Korean aviation disaster thriller film directed by Han Jae-Rim ("The King (2017)" director) and starring award-winning actors Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Jeon Do-yeon, etc. The film tells the story of a plane that is forced to make an emergency landing after bioterrorism occurs during flight. The plot revolves around the multiple perspectives of how the incident affects various characters on board the aircraft and on the ground.

Introduction

Jae-Hyuk (played by Lee Byung-Hun) is traveling to Hawaii with his daughter to seek additional treatment for her medical condition. Due to an unfortunate turn of events, they boarded the same plane as a bioterrorist who has threatened to kill everyone on board. In the meantime, a police detective named In-Ho (portrayed by Song Kang-Ho) was attempting to unravel the mystery surrounding an anonymous kill-threat video, which turned out to be connected to the suspect on the same plane. In addition, In-Ho's wife is also a passenger on the same flight. In order to save his wife, In-Ho is racing against the clock to uncover the terrorist's hidden motivations and find a solution to the urgent crisis! Transport Minister Sook-Hee (Jeon Do-Yeon) is confronted with one of the greatest challenges: ensuring the emergency safe landing of the aircraft and the safe evacuation of the passengers.

How will each of these characters respond to the challenging situation? Will the passengers be able to survive the plane crash? Now, let's find out at the nearest movie theater.

Review

Director Han Jae-Rimhas done an excellent job of capturing the tension that could exist in a confined aircraft cabin during a disaster, which in this case is a bioterrorist attack. It began with a gradual accumulation of random encounters within an airport and hints pointing to a suspect with dangerous motivations. Once the terrorist initiates his attack, the horrific effects of the bioterrorism on the victims are revealed. Once the atmosphere has shifted, audiences can anticipate a thrilling ride throughout the duration of the viewing. Audiences experience the fear of the passengers on board, the helplessness of being in the aircraft as it attempts an emergency landing, the hopelessness of the people on the ground who are praying for the safe return of their loved ones, and the struggles of those who are still attempting to save the day. All of these feelings were conveyed effectively throughout the entire film.

Otherwise, the compelling nature of the story is also due to the actors' excellent performances. Song Kang-ho, who portrays the police investigator, has captured many of the show's most memorable moments. His character, who takes numerous reckless actions to save his wife, is quite heartbreaking. On the other hand, Lee Byung-hun's depiction of a former pilot suffering from PTSD is also noteworthy. He effectively portrayed the character's worst fear. The audience will certainly applaud his character's final act of redemptive behavior.

The film's videography and editing are also notable features. Due to limited space, filming all the action within an aircraft can be difficult. However, the filming and CGI employed are capable of delivering all of these elements very effectively. In addition, a particular car-chase scene has piqued my interest due to the insane in-car filming.

The theme of bioterrorism and the weapon employed felt eerily similar to a problem that we all faced in real life. Similar to Train To Busan, the film depicts the different side of humanity when faced with a life-or-death situation, as well as the innate human instinct for survival. As a result of the pandemic that has impacted the lives of so many people, some of the emotions presented are also felt close to our hearts.

However, the show is not perfect. With pacing issues, the runtime of 2 hours and 21 minutes can be exhausting at times. Their attempt to depict the ugliness of humanity like in “Train To Busan” felt more trivial than coherent here. The film's "happy ending," which felt slightly out of place compared to its overall dark theme, impeded its otherwise perfect realism.

Nonetheless, the film is still a worthwhile entertainment! Highly recommended for fans of intensity and suspense in their viewing experiences!

 [Movie Review] Bullet Train (2022 film)

Introduction

"Bullet Train" is a film by David Leitch, the director for "John Wick" and "Atomic Blonde". It is a vibrant and stylish action-comedy film featuring a stellar cast including Brad Pitt, Aaron-Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Andrew Koji and etc. It also features a number of surprising cameos.

The film follows a hitman, Ladybug (Brad Pitt), as he attempts to complete his straightforward mission, which is to retrieve a specific briefcase. However, due to his bad luck, he encountered multiple obstacles that prevented him from achieving his objective as easily as he had hoped. Despite the story's relatively shallow nature, it was filled with multiple twists and turns that will suprise the audience.

Will "Ladybug" be able to realise his vision? Let's take a train to the closest movie theatre and watch it!

Review

In "Bullet Train", David Leitch has once again provided an excellent action-packed flick pairing with stylish comedic elements. The use of a fast-moving bullet train and a colourful LED-lit background has created a sophisticated atmosphere and ambiance for the visual pleasure of the audience.

Brad Pitt'sportrayal of the "Ladybug" character is eccentric, humorous, and full of self-deprecating humour. In addition to his humorous qualities, Brad Pitt also demonstrates his dexterity in action scenes! Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry, who portrayed the hitman siblings Tangerine and Lemon, are another pair of actors who have dominated the spotlight. There is never a dull moment whenever they both appear on-screen together.

As per introduction, the storyline for this movie is quite simple and straight-forward. Yet, the director has attempted to connect every available interpolated point through a complex web of convolutions and plot twists. It is refreshing to see how everything fits into the overall picture during the final act of the show.

Despite the fact that each character has their own cool introduction footage, there is a lack of in-depth character development. Consequently, the audience only learns the superficial characteristics of the characters, including the protagonist. Essentially, the characters are introduced in a manner similar to how standard fighting games introduce their playable characters. Due to this, there is a lack of emotional investment in the on-screen characters, with the exception of the duo Tangerine and Lemon, whom I adore.

The movie's choice of music is an additional aspect that I enjoy. The funk music, such as "Stayin' Alive," complements the film and adds to the intensity of the fight scenes. Additionally, there are quite a few cameos and interesting details on certain elements (such as the water bottle..yes, the water bottle!) that make the movie distinct and quite novel in a blockbuster film.

If you can overlook the simplistic plot and lack of character development, "Bullet Train" is an action-packed train ride you will not regret taking!

 [Movie Review] Alive Drift (Japanese film) (2022)

Introduction

A team on the verge of disbanding scouts Koichi Oba, a shy, introverted gamer who is exceptionally skilled at Esport driving games. Koichi demonstrates his mastery in a real car, but he is challenged by professional drivers in life-or-death races. Koichi's burgeoning technique, passion, bravery, and teamwork break down the barriers between the virtual and the reality, propelling him and his team to greater heights. This marks the beginning of the quickest and most precise race film ever filmed. A new world in which gamers strive for the pinnacle of real-world drifting. This is a film about the consequences of exceeding one's limits.

If you love racing as well as esports, do quickly drift your way to your nearest theatre now and watch the movie!

Review

"Alive Drift" is undoubtedly a love letter to drift racing fans and car enthusiasts. I can't imagine any motorsports fan not being enthralled by this film, which focuses primarily on capturing authentic drifting scenes through difficult camerawork and high-level videography skills.

Ten Shimoyama directed the film, whose cast included Shuhei Nomura (who portrays Koichi Oba), Sho Aoyagi (who portrays Souichichiro Kobayashi), Shôdai Fukuyama (who portrays Kai Shibasaki), Ai Yoshikawa (who portrays Natsumi Muto), etc. The show also features special appearance by Keiichi Tsuchiya, the legendary drift king who actually supervised the filming! With Keiichi Tsuchiya's participation, the drifting scenes in this film are without a doubt of the highest calibre that will definitely impress the audience!

It is also noteworthy that this film acknowledges esport as the next revolutionary sport while emphasising the significance of physical competition. There were a number of scenes that demonstrated how exceptional "Gran Turismo Sport" is as a racing simulator. In addition to satisfying car enthusiasts, the film has provided the younger generation with new inspiration and motivation to maintain their interest in esports.

In terms of acting, the majority of the characters exhibited exaggerated facial expressions and responses, with the exception of the protagonist, Koichi Oba, who is an introvert that is less expressive. Perhaps this is the acting style of Japanese films, but the majority of the film's presentation felt too anime-like for a live-action film. While the show's technical aspects are at their peak, the plot felt somewhat too simplistic. It may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Putting aside the acting style and plot development, if you're looking for genuine drift racing action, you're in for a real treat!
